Black Cohosh is also known as black snakeroot or fairy candle and can be found growing wild in woodland areas and clearings throughout the northeastern states. Black Cohosh is native to North America. Black Cohosh was used by native American tribes to treat a myriad of ailments including gynecological problems. Colonials used Black Cohosh to treat snakebites, upper respiratory inflammation, and gynecological issues. Today, Black Cohosh herbal use centers round relieving menopausal discomfort. Black Cohosh is a tall perennial that produces tapering racemes made up of multiple tiny white petal-less flowers. The racemes are borne on stalks that protrude from a full leafy green basal habit. Black Cohosh is an excellent, low maintenance planting for the historic garden or herb garden.
